So can this be used with Sunset Sea (KotS) to effectively get two uses out of it?
Sadly, no. Discarding Sunset Sea is a cost for the effect of lowering the cost of the character... and if a cost is not paid (in this case, if the location is not successfully discarded), then the effect doesn't happen (so you don't get the reduction).

A handy way of identifying a cost, is to look for a "do X to do Y" structure, where X will be the cost and Y will be the effect.

Ok, thanks. I guess I was thinking that the cost was indeed successfully paid since to trigger a Save response would entail its being successfully discarded.

edit: but I just revisited the fine print on Save/Cancels and see that "Save responses are special effects that interrupt and prevent the killing or discarding of a card in play," which clears that up!

Anyway, I'll stick with Iron Lore (MotA) for this purpose.
